MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Kremlin expressed its agreement with U.S. President on the necessity of constructing a “new world order,” while simultaneously rejecting the notion that the United States possesses the capability to establish it.
During a conversation with journalists, Kremlin spokesperson stated that the U.S. advocates for an “American-centric” global order that will not come to fruition in the future.
This exchange serves as a testament to an ongoing competition, taking place amidst the backdrop of the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts, where Russia strives to convince developing nations to join them in constructing a new world that is liberated from U.S. “hegemony.”
During a speech on Friday, Biden remarked that the order that had successfully operated for 50 years following World War Two had “lost its momentum,” emphasizing the necessity for a replacement. He opined that Americans possess “an opportunity to accomplish extraordinary feats if we possess the audacity and self-assurance to unite the world in unprecedented ways.”
Peskov confirmed that Moscow aligns with Biden’s viewpoint regarding the requirement for a fresh order, upheld by his assertion that it should be “devoid of consolidating global governance within the hands of any single nation.”
However, he stated that Russia disagrees with Biden on the capacity of the United States to construct such a framework.
“In this regard, we disagree because, irrespective of the type of world order they propose, the United States primarily envisions an American-centric global order, which implies a world that revolves solely around the United States. This will no longer be the case.”
